  TFREC Entomology Bark Beetles
It was believed that economic difficulties like those experienced in the Washington tree fruit industry during the late 1990s contributed to the problem due to an increase in neglected or abandoned orchards, which were serving as reproductive hosts for bark beetles.
SHB damage in healthy orchards is usually associated with a mass migration of newly emerged adults from a host located close to the orchard.
Cherry orchards may become more susceptible to injury in the post-harvest period when insecticide programs for cherry fruit fly and leafroller have ceased and second-generation SHB adults are able to move into unprotected orchards.

  Crop Profile for Cherries (Sweet) in Washington
Twenty-eight percent of Washington sweet cherries are grown in Yakima County with another 18% grown in Chelan, 15% in Benton, 12% in Grant, 10% in Douglas, and 9% in both Franklin and Okanogan counties.
Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) inspectors are stationed at each cherry packing facility during the harvest season to check fruit for infestation as it comes to the packinghouse, prior to acceptance, and again after packing.
The amount of disease that appears in the orchard depends on the vigor of the trees, the relative number of Verticillium microsclerotia in the soil, and the age of the trees.

 Occupational Pesticide Poisoning in Apple Orchards -- Washington, 1993
When growers in Washington subsequently began to consider use of mevinphos for aphid control, the manufacturer of mevinphos recommended in early 1993 that WSDA institute additional restrictions on its use.
The magnitude of the risk for mevinphos poisoning among Washington agricultural workers cannot be estimated because the total number of workers who may be at risk for exposure to this pesticide is unknown.
As demonstrated by the Washington cases, even when use of mevinphos is strictly regulated and mandated precautions apparently are followed, poisonings occur.

 IPM Update (8/1/97)
Often it is only the portion of the orchard where damage occurs, specifically the borders, that can provide a clue as to whether insects have caused the problem or it is the result of a physiological disorder.
Because the insects occur on native plants outside of the orchard, it is helpful to sample in these areas to determine the stages present and to gather data on relative abundance from year to year.
In these orchards fruit injury was also found to be three to four times greater in the upper part of the tree compared with that at mid-canopy.

 IPM News: March 1998
The Washington State Department of Agriculture, in an effort headed up by State Entomologist Eric LaGasa, has conducted extensive surveys in Western Washington for a number of years to identify new exotic species that attack apple trees and to determine the extent of the infestations.
However, monitoring CM in pheromone-treated orchards with pheromone lures is limited by the high levels of the pheromone present in the orchard atmosphere.
This may be a result of the higher temperatures causing heating and convection currents in the orchard, creating a less extensive pheromone plume from the trap and a smaller active space effectively monitored by the trap.

For decades, their bees were tolerated in the sprawling orchards as they turned orange blossom nectar into dependable honey crops.
The beekeepers fear no-fly zones _ established by keeping hives miles from orchards _ could put them out of business.
The conflict comes as growers try to cash in on the growing national hunger for the convenience of seedless produce, and beekeepers struggle to recover from years of erratic production caused by bad weather and mite-infested hives.
